I was 22 and in the Navy when I was saved.

     To be honest I hate writing profiles because I feel like I am lying. In reality I go days without reading my Bible sometimes. In reality I do not pray every day. I do pray most days though and I would like to pray every day but after over a decade, I still do not pray every day. Do I trust God for everything? No, I still do not trust God for everything. I want to trust God for everything and over the last few years I have learned to trust him for most things but in my sinfulness I still find myself not trusting him for things probably every day. To beat myself over it is to make myself a lot more unhappy than I already am. Do I still sin? The more I try to stop sinning, the more my flesh looks for ways to sin that I do not realize. THis might sound simplistic and unpuritan but every day I have to just try my hardest not to sin and ask for forgiveness when I do and that is that.

My favorite HISTORICAL people from the Bible are the Apostle John and Abraham. To make a long story short, the dialogue with John and the exalted Jesus in Revelation and God's conversation with Abraham over the destruction of Sodom  in Genesis moved me the very most. I want to talk to Jesus like Abraham and John did.

 I love the country and animals. I live in a really small country town and I love it! I leave my door unlocked and my keys in my truck! Why live otherwise unless you are called to minister somewhere crappy. I own a horse and a cat and and will get a dog soon too. I hate the city and do not want to live near one or in one. I  can be weird and silly so must not mind a little weirdness and a bizarre sense of humor. I am not into small talk really and not a big socializer. I would like to have a wife that can cook some kick-butt food so that we can entertain friend and have movie and game nights with church friends but I do not have a need to continuously be around people. The only person I want hanging all over me is my wife and kids. I want someone that does not mind my nerdiness and love for video games and sci fi. I know that  probably turns the stomachs of most reformed women. Not sure why but I imagine it is because their father does not like those things. I can't help it I like those things and it would be ridiculous for me to try to change that. We would just end up with a lot of hurdles to overcome to not resent each other. My perspective mate can totally love the Puritans and reading tons of systematic theologies and stuff. That is fine but don't expect me to read them. I read what is necessary for me to understand the Bible better. I have read John Owen, Jonathan Edwards plus a lot of other things just because I thought I should. I in fact do not like reading anything of the sort and stopped doing so a while ago. I read books that are short and to the point. I like things like Robert Reymond's systematic theology and books by John Piper.

I did not grow up in a Christian home. I came to the reformed faith in 1997 and have only belonged to one reformed baptist church. I am visiting a reformed baptist church closer to where I live now. I do not have a lot of experience with Presbyterians or other reformed denominations other than on this very site and the friendships I have from here. I have studied the issue of Paedo vs. Credo baptism closer than anything else in my entire time being a Christian. If I am nothing else I can definitely say that I am Berean. If I see that I am wrong about something that I currently believe I will IMMEDIATELY change it. I have no Christian family that will come down on me for believing the truth and I won't break any hearts If I leave my church. (Usually out of sight,out of minds with most Christians anyways). I absolutely DO NOT  believe in infant baptism. This is not because of what I was or was not taught, it is because I have LOOKED FOR MYSELF! exhaustively even.

 Looking to buy a business really soon. EIther large car wash or a couple of pizzarias. My job right now is taking care of and riding my horse and fixing up mine and my mother's house.

To settle into my new church and see what I can do for ministry there.

I play video games. I read my bible and pray. I ride my horse. I walk. I hunt. I read. I eat out.

I am a Yankee dyed in the wool. That means I am a New Englander descended from the Puritains or the Pilgrims. This is my home I do not want to live anywhere else because I just am culturally incompatible. God would really have to bring me someone extraordinary for me to move. That means someone I am actually attracted to, shares my interests, serves the Lord and accepts me for who I am.
